I could have added some more recent papers on calculating 2-body fixes. Stanley W Gery, "The direct fix of latitude and longitude from two observed altitudes", Navigation, 44 (1) 1997. George H Kaplan "Determining the position and motion of a vessel from celestial observations", Navigation, 42 (4) 1995. I've only listed, here, pages from the American publication "Navigation", and haven't investigated the British "Journal of Navigation", which I expect would have also carried articles on that topic.
